CR460 Series 

The ultimate in versatility, simplicity and performance 

All CR460 Series lighting contactors deliver unprecedented versatility in application, 

simplicity in configuration and performance in operation. Their revolutionary design and 

unique features meet most lighting control needs better than ever before. 

—Modular design permits fast, on-site configuration 

—2-12 power poles 

—30 amp rating 

—Snap-in auxiliary contacts 

—Common components for both electrically and mechanically held versions 

—Continuously rated, interchangeable coils 

—Finger-safe terminals 

Contactor Application 

CR463 lighting contactors switch ballast (fluorescent or HID), tungsten and general use 

loads and carry motor load, resistive and pilot duty ratings as well. 

CR463L Electrically Held Contactors 

Operational Mode 

1. 3-wire control is typically used when control is desired from multiple locations. The 

contactor is operated from a momentary pilot device and requires an auxiliary contact 

to be used as a holding interlock. 

2. 2-wire control is used for single location control with power continuously supplied to 

the coil for contactor operation. 

CR463M Mechanically Held Contactors 

A mechanical latch with a 2- or 3-wire electronic control module delivers reliable 

performance and protection from such application abnormalities as line noise, 

leakage currents from controller outputs, or short repetitive commands burst from 

faulty controllers. 

Mechanical Operation 

1. Latches after contactor command and removes coil from circuit for 

noise-free operation 

2. Eliminates all coil losses after contactor is latched 

Control Module 

1. Coil operation and control circuit at same or different voltages 

2. Allows longer control wiring runs 

3. Microprocessor validates control signal before operation 

—will not respond to momentary voltage spikes or noise 

—operation command has built in delay (0.4 sec) to avoid multiple short-term 

commands that can cause contact fatigue or failure 

—feedback loop prevents contactor from getting out of sequence with switches, 

even after power failures 

Operational Modes 

1. 3 wire control is the choice for use with momentary devices allowing operation from 

multiple locations 

—a momentary pulse of energy operates contactor; a second pulse on alternate 

leg returns contactor to original state 

2. 2-wire control is the choice for single-output automatic operation or for operation 

from single-pole devices 

—latches contactor into position when voltage is applied to input terminals (coil is 

removed from circuit while control voltage is continuously supplied); disengages 

latch and returns contactor to original state when control voltage is removed. 

3-4 




Power poles latch easily onto the base, 

and designating them as NO or NC is a 

simple matter of left or right positioning. 

Additional poles may be added 

at any time.

To specify control and coil voltage, replace ** in the product 

number with the appropriate digits from the Control Circuit table, 

and add the price adder (if any) to the contactor list price. The 

resulting product number will be for an assembled contactor with 

no additional auxiliary contacts, pilot devices, pilot lights, control 

circuit fuses or CPTs. If coil supply voltage is greater than 277V, 

use a CPT. 

For modified assembled forms with those modifications, see 

pages 3-14 and 3-15. Items listed here are the most common 

pole configurations. 

Poles may be reconfigured by user into alternative combinations 

of NO and NC contacts. All configurations are available as factory-assembled 

forms. To order: Use the modified assembled forms 

selection data on pages 3-14 and 3-15, or use the web wizard 

at http://www.geindustrial.com/industrialsystems/wizards/csp/

CR160MC 


CR160MC shallow mount 30A - 225A (2 & 3 pole) 

Application 

The CR160MC mechanically held lighting contactors are 

designed for control of lighting loads such as tungsten, fluorescent, 

mercury, and sodium, as well as for general noninductive 

loads. The shallow-type design makes these contactors particularly 

adaptable for wall-cavity mounting applications. 

The silver cadmium oxide main contacts and silver tungsten arcing 

contacts give the devices capability of handling a wide variety 

of lighting loads. Built-in clearing interlocks allow control 

from either momentary or maintained pilot devices. 

Features 

—Can be mounted in enclosures that fit six-inch thick walls. 

—Device is listed by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. 

—Front connected—for convenient wiring. 

—Manually operated—by screwdriver or similar tool which 

reduces chances of tampering. 

—Direct bus-mounted forms—for space savings, reduced 

mounting and wiring costs. 

—Withstand current rating—22,000 amperes rms symmetrical 

at 480 Volts ac maximum and when used with molded case 

circuit breaker.

Control Line Wiring 

Control lines extending several hundred feet from the voltage 

source and pilot device(s) to the lighting contactor may require 

special consideration. Select a wire size adequate to provide not 

less than 85% of rated coil voltage at the coil, for pickup, while 

passing inrush current through the control circuit. Suggested 

wire sizes, for use with a “stiff” source of control voltage, are 

listed below. Interposing control relays are available for greater 

distances, and for use with pilot devices having ratings lower 

than those required for direct operation of the contactor coils.

control line distance to 1/2 the specified table value, etc.

Note: Use of energy management systems, multiple control stations, or signals 

require prime control logic or use of a 2-wire control relay/module, to assure 

that on and off signals are never applied simultaneously to a mechanically held 

contactor. 

Control Transformer Data 

When the lighting contactor is used on the secondary of a transformer, 

the transformer must be sized to provide the required 

inrush current with 90% voltage applied to the transformer primary. 

As an alternative, utilize an interposing relay with a lower 

VA CPT. Connect the circuit with the line voltage driving the coil 

and the control voltage driving the relay coil.

CR360ML 


CR360ML - 400A - 1000A (2 & 3 pole) 

Description 

GE RC Switches Adapt to Your Application and Your 

Imagination 

In commercial or industrial environments where you need to 

control power, heating and lighting loads from across the floor, 

across the plant, or across the world, the CR360ML RC switches 

from GE are a great solution. These electromagnetically operated, 

mechanically held switches, unlike other devices, will not 

open or close if the power fails. 

By allowing convenient and automatic control of lighting circuits 

through wall stations, timers, photocells, or energy management 

control systems, GE RC switches provide savings in energy costs 

by being the most economical and reliable switching means in 

any power distribution system. Because the operator is energized 

only during the instant the switch changes position, there is no 

ac hum or chatter. Furthermore, because constant power is not 

required, an even greater energy savings can be realized along 

with lower operating costs. These units are ideally suited for 

energy management applications because they are able to 

handle all classes of loads up to 1000 amps. 

Circuit breakers were designed for overload protection, not for 

repetitively turning blocks of lighting on and off on a daily basis. 

GE RC switches provide the most reliable, convenient, and 

economical means to control lighting, leaving the circuit breakers 

for the purpose of overload protection. 

GE RC switches work effectively in a broad range of applications 

including tungsten, ballast lighting, motor, general use, and total 

system loads. 

Application Information 

Tungsten loads are made up entirely of tungsten filament lamps, 

where the inrush current may be as high as 20 times the steady 

state current and have a duration of up to 14 cycles. 

Ballast lighting (electric discharge lamp) loads are made up 

entirely of electric discharge lamps such as fluorescent or 

mercury vapor lamps. Depending on the type of ballast used, 

the power factor can range from 0.4 to 0.9 or better. 

Motor loads are made up entirely of motors capable of drawing 

locked rotor current of six times normal running current at 0.4 

to 0.5 power factor. 

General use loads are made up of heaters, incandescent lamps, 

and other resistive loads, in addition to small reactive loads such 

as office machinery where the power factor can range from 0.7 

to 0.8. 

Total system loads are made up from all of the above. The sum 

of the motor full load current and the current of the other loads 

shall not exceed the amp rating of the switch, and the tungsten 

load shall not exceed 30% of the switch rating unless the switch 

has been found to be suitable for a higher tungsten load. GE RC 

switches are rated for 100% tungsten load in ratings through 

400 amps. 

Rev. 7/11 



CR360ML RC Switch 

Section 3 

The GE CR360ML RC switch reduces wear on the overcurrent 

protective devices, provides more flexibility, and increases 

system reliability. It can be used for remotely controlled feeder 

disconnect applications such as energy management and bulk 

load control. 

—These units are suitable for heating, ballast lighting, or motor 

loads to 480 Vac, in either open or enclosed forms. 

—They will also handle 100% tungsten loads rated at 250 Vac up 

to 400 amps, and 30% tungsten loads at 600 amps and up. 

—Units are UL listed and (WCR) Withstand Current Rated. 

—Not only is the interrupting capacity 600% of the rated current 

at 480 Vac at a 0.4 to 0.5 power factor, but their thermal 

capacity is 20 times the full load rating. 

—With contacts that are power-driven and locked into place by 

a reliable single-solenoid operator, the GE CR360ML has no 

continuous control power consumption, and its rugged construction 

allows it to be mounted in any position with its flush 

dead back. 

—There are no extra wires or contacts needed to install signal 

lamps at single or multiple control stations.

have adequate current-carrying capacity to control the switch directly, or the control 

station is to be located a greater distance from the switch than is allowed in 

the above table, auxiliary relays for 2-wire or 3-wire control are available.
